What Pain Meds Work For You?

I know I'm not alone when I state that pain is my biggest complaint in living with adhesions. Well, the nausea and vomiting aren't exactly fun either, but the pain is what really gets my attention. I have a wonderful pain doc who has me on the 50 mcg/hour fentayl patch and hydrocodone for breakthrough pain. With phenergan for the nausea and a constant watchful eye on my diet (mostly liquid) I now have the tools to deal with the symptoms. No drug with ever completely take away the pain. It took me a long time to figure out that pain management really does mean "Management", and not "zero" pain.

Anyway, I am just curious what other folks have found to be effective. Anyone care to share?
